It’s a quadruple helping of triple-A releases arriving this week, in what is quite possibly the biggest of the 2010 gaming year. Rhythm, party, and all-around music fans will be getting their new fix with Rock Band 3, which has added pro-mode and a keyboard into the mix, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. Star Wars fans who want to get their thrill from tossing around stormtroopers as if they were rag dolls will get to do so with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for Xbox 360 and PS3.
The wrestling crowd will have their annual slam-fest with WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2011 coming to Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, and PSP. And last but not least, RPG fans will be able to have fun being just as good or evil as they desire when Fable III hits the Xbox 360.
Aside from those big four, skate fans will have a hard time choosing between the new Shaun White Skateboarding and the latest installment in the recently deflated Tony Hawk series, Tony Hawk Shred, both for the Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii. Those looking for fun downloadable content will find Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, which adds a new single-player side story and multiplayer action, on Xbox LIVE.
